Teamwork

Team.  Exactly what I am needing for weight loss.  Although this is my journey alone, I cannot do it alone.  I have tried and tried countless times.  I have done diets in secret without anyone knowing or maybe just a family member or two.  If there was a diet for it, I did it.  Except this one.  Why  did I never attempt low-carb? I am not really sure.  Perhaps it was because I was addicted to carbs? Maybe it was just the fact that I wasn't big on meat?  Or maybe the fact that all my life I believed low fat, meant losing fat.  Hmmm. Boy I was wrong.

How am I getting a team?  I am telling everyone I know what I am doing.  This includes family, friends, coworkers, and even online forums.  At first it was pretty shameful.  It was like admitting and uncovering all my faults, total exposure.  Confession.  The more I confessed, the more I realized I wasn't alone.   The matter of the fact is, I gain strength from being open and honest about my struggle with weight.   

Now that I have a team, I am more focused.  I am accountable to me, but with my team cheering me on I find bursts of energy and a lot of focus.

I will end with a quote (I love quotes!).  "When "I" is replaced with "e",   Even "illness" becomes "wellness".
